## Ninth Dasha
**Hon**
"If someone repeatedly uses stories, tales of kings, arguments, devices, quarrels, etc. to destroy other Tirthankaras, they acquire the Maha-Mohaniya Karma. Because the Sutra states: 'Sarva Tirtha Bhedaya - Sarvesham Tirthanam - Jnanadi Mukti Marganam Bhedaya - Sarvatha Nashaya Pravartamanah. Jnanadi hi Samsara Sagar Taran Karanani.' Meaning, all the Tirthankaras, including knowledge and other paths leading to liberation, are destroyed by repeatedly engaging in such stories, and the soul becomes bound by the Maha-Mohaniya Karma."
"However, this punishment is only for 'Anarth-Danda,' meaning violence and other evil deeds done for no purpose, only for entertainment. Because the householder's 'Arth-Danda,' meaning actions done for the protection of their body, are not abandoned. But for the Sadhu, both 'Dandas' are rejected. Therefore, if a Sadhu engages in these actions for any purpose, or a householder engages in them under the influence of 'Anarth-Danda,' or simply to destroy the path to liberation, they will inevitably be bound by the karma. Because by performing these actions, they lead themselves and others towards suffering."
"Every individual should learn from this Sutra that teaching violence and scriptures like the Kama Shastra is sinful and should be rejected by the Bhavyatma."
Now the Sutrakar says in the 27th place, regarding the same subject:
**"Je Ahammiye Joey Sampounje Puno Puno. Saha-Heum Sahi-Heum Mahamoham Pakuvvai."**
**"Yashcha Adharmikam Yogam Samprayunkte Punah-Punah. Shlaghha-Heto: Sakhi-Heto: Mahamoham Prakurute."**
**Translation:**
"Whoever repeatedly engages in unrighteous practices like Vashikaran (hypnotism) for the sake of praise (Saha-Heum) or friendship (Sahi-Heum), they acquire the Maha-Mohaniya Karma."
